Washington\u2019s definitely a stockier offensive player, but his weight listed online is 265 pounds\u2014people couldn\u2019t believe this was true.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_xjg7aqlty\">So, the St. Brown brothers asked Washington the question everyone was wanting an answer to: how much does he weigh? <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_pbxi90el0\">Washington tried to sidestep the answer at first, saying he hadn\u2019t weighed himself in a while. But, Equanimeous St. Brown called him out saying the teams have weekly weigh-ins. That\u2019s when Washington shared the truth\u2014he weighs 311 pounds.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Steelers TE Darnell Washington is listed as 265 lbs online.<\/p>\n<p>However, he reveals that he is actually 311 lbs \ud83d\ude33 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ur1JHqbhiP\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/ur1JHqbhiP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 St. Brown Podcast (@StBrownPodcast) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StBrownPodcast\/status\/1991226643898134841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">November 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6nkdk6d9j\">That definitely makes a lot more sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_rvfw9wg7h\">Because of Washington\u2019s size, it wouldn\u2019t come as a surprise if the Steelers choose to transition the tight end to the offensive line at some point. He can be used as a utilityman of sorts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_w330ffypu\">In his third season in Pittsburgh, Washington is putting up his career-best stats through just 10 games so far.
